The remote ftp host was a Win NT.By default it gives a DOS like listing of the files. I guess the default parser dosen't work quite well with DOS like listings. So I issued a SITE command to get UNIX like listings and bingo!!!...that worked. I am wondering if there are parsers available that would function in a more generic manner.
